Description:
In this study we predict stream sensitivity to nonpoint source pollution based on the nonlinear responses of hydrologic regimes and associated loadings of nonpoint source pollutants to watershed attributes. - - - A stratified random sampling scheme for baseflow and snowmelt stream water quality based on both hydrogeomorphic region and watershed attributes improves assessments of both reference condition and differences in regional sensitivity, and thus potential causes of impairment.
